Overview & Reviews

Few vehicles from overseas manufacturers have garnered as much respect in North America as the Honda Accord. It hasn't achieved this status by being glamorous, sexy or thrilling. Instead, Honda just seems to have its finger on the pulse of what Americans value most. Take an Accord for a spin and you'll find it to be comfortable, roomy, intelligently engineered and easy to drive. It's also backed by strong resale value and a solid reputation for reliability.

You'll find that certain competing sedans and coupes are quicker, more prestigious or simply less expensive than the Accord. What's special about the Honda Accord, though, is its completeness. It scores well across a broader range of categories than practically any family-friendly sedan or coupe on the market. When examined from this holistic standpoint, it's easy to see why the Accord has become an automotive icon and remains one of our editors' top recommendations.

  They dont make em like this anymore - 1992 Honda Accord
  By ENGR - January 21 - 11:17 pm

  Bought mine 4 years ago, with the plan to replace it after I graduated college. I got my degree last year and still driving the car. The car is an example of good design. Everything is easy to use, everything works well and its a very reliable car. Having said that, Ive had to do quite a bit of work on it: new radiator, water pump, oil filter seal, transmission CPU (the last automatic I will own). I kept the spark plugs in for 48k miles. But this is a 16 year old car that will do 85 all day, cross country, and Ive done it many times. Still getting 23/28 mpg.

  Owned 15 Years and Still Love It - 1993 Honda Accord
  By mnmpeterson - January 20 - 6:14 pm

  I bought my Accord in 1993 and thought I would keep it 10 years max. Nearly 15 years and over 140K miles later I have no plans on replacing it any time soon. This has been the best vehicle Ive ever owned. Its required relatively few repairs although it started to show its age a few years ago needing new clutch, radiator, etc. But you I would expect to replace that kind of stuff on a car this old. The only problems Ive had is with the cruise control that has acted strange from day one. Also the temperature control gets stuck after staying in the same position all summer. Too bad the new Accords seats are too stiff and uncomfortable or I might have bought another one.

  Favorite one so far - 2003 Honda Accord
  By julie - January 20 - 7:39 am

  This has been my favorite vehicle so far. It is fun to drive and looks great. The interior is designed with the passengers comfort in mind and is very aesthetically pleasing. The car had better options that my Lexus RX300 and a better finish and quality. Living in NY the only problem is in the snow, but I added snow tires and they made a big difference. The handling is tight and the ride is fun and comfortable. I drive 105 miles a day and the V6 has been a lot of fun. The only thing I would have asked for: bluetooth, but I know this is now an option on the newer models. Why I no longer own it? I am buying a 2008 4 Cyl for better gas mileage and I wanted a 4 dr.

  Fun, Good Power, lacking some features - 2007 Honda Accord
  By S. Paul - January 19 - 7:00 am

  Just got my 07 EX-L 2.4L Graphite Pearl. Very comfortable seats, leather is good quality. A bit sluggish out of the gate normal w/4 cyl. On fwy passes with ease and seems to be in its groove around 2500+rpms. There are 3 things lacking. 1) fog lights should be standard on all EX-Ls. 2)Moonroof should fully open without having to hold the button down 3)Door locks should automatically lock when shifted in into drive and auto unlock when shifted into park. All of these features though can be added to the car later if you really need them. The fog lights are readily available and also electronic after market modules for both the automatic door locks and moonroof.

  Best of the Best - 2003 Honda Accord
  By steve - January 17 - 5:53 pm

  The 2003 Accord EX V6 is very powerful and tightly build. Inside and out, I think the car is very sound and reliable. The car is quiet and smooth overall. I enjoy driving my car to work everyday. I believe Honda has nailed it with this 7th generation Accord. Thank You!

  Thought about BMW and Volvo but.. - 2007 Honda Accord
  By Jon S - January 16 - 5:40 pm

  I was a 7 yr Honda Civic owner and I really wanted to branch out to something more exciting and sexy; BMW or Volvo. But after months of research and learning what I know about reliability and resale value of these brands, I could not leave Honda. I am very pleased with my honda accord LX 4 cyl manual. I really love the shifting in a Honda, compared to a Toyota, which is more mushy and clunky. A Honda shift is smooth and exact. Love getting a bigger car but still 26/34 mpg. Very happy.

  My family could not be more pleased with our new Honda Accord. The Accord has looks, comfort, great ride and reliability. What more could we ask for?
